1980s Avanyu Jar rug-color_multi-color Hand-Carved and Painted Hopi ChipmunkHand coiled and traditionally fired Santa Clara blackware vessel by Madeline Tafoya, signed and dated 1987, featuring a carved Avanyu (water serpent) design encircling the body. The form departs from traditional jars, incorporating a sculptural loop handle that arches over the opening, creating a dynamic, open negative space.
